Estimating the Urban Bias of Surface Shelter Temperatures Using Upper-Air and Satellite Data. Part II: Estimation of the Urban Bias
(American Meteorological Society, 1995)A methodology is presented for estimating the urban bias of surface shelter temperatures due to the effect of the urban heat island. Multiple regression techniques were used to predict surface shelter temperatures based ... -
Rain-Rate Estimation in the Presence of Hail Using S-Band Specific Differential Phase and Other Radar Parameters
(American Meteorological Society, 1995)Multiparameter radar measurements were made during a heavy rainfall event accompanied by hail in Colorado. Rainfall rates R and accumulation Σ for this event were estimated using S-band specific differential phase KDP, ... -
Estimating the Urban Bias of Surface Shelter Temperatures Using Upper-Air and Satellite Data. Part I: Development of Models Predicting Surface Shelter Temperatures
(American Meteorological Society, 1995)Multiple regression techniques were used to predict surface shelter temperatures based on the time period 1986?89 using upper-air data from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts to represent the background ... -
Mobile Microwave Radiometer Observations: Spatial Characteristics of Supercooled Cloud Water and Cloud Seeding Implications
(American Meteorological Society, 1995)Previous studies of the spatial distribution of supercooled liquid water in winter storms over mountainous terrain were performed primarily with instrumented aircraft and to a lesser extent with scans from a stationary ... -
Characteristics of Temperature Depressions Associated with Snow Cover across the Northeast United States
(American Meteorological Society, 1995)Daily snow cover and temperature data are collected for a network of 91 stations covering the northeast United States and the association between the two is explored. Observations are examined for the six-month winter ... -
A Method to Estimate Missing Daily Maximum and Minimum Temperature Observations
(American Meteorological Society, 1995)A method to estimate missing daily maximum and minimum temperatures is presented. Temperature estimates are based on departures from daily temperature normals at the three closest stations with similar observation times. ... -
Description of Wind Field Dynamic Patterns in a Valley and Their Relation to Mesoscale and Synoptic-Scale Meteorological Situations
(American Meteorological Society, 1995)A large set of hourly meteorological data from seven towers deployed in Montesina Valley (Cordoba, Spain) is studied in relation to the prevailing synoptic situation. The complete collection of daily synoptic maps for ... -
Topographic and Atmospheric Influences on Precipitation Variability over a Mountainous Watershed
(American Meteorological Society, 1995)Using rotated principal component analysis (PCA), unique, orthogonal spatial patterns of daily and monthlyprecipitation on a well-instrumented, mountainous watershed in Idaho are examined for their relationship totopography, ... -
Aircraft Icing Measurements in East Coast Winter Storms
(American Meteorological Society, 1995)Analysis of the aircraft icing environments of East Coast winter storms have been made from 3 1 flights duringthe second Canadian Atlantic Storms Program. Microphysical parameters have been summarized and are compared to ... -
Turbulent Mixing in Stably Stratified Shear Flows
(American Meteorological Society, 1995)Vertical mixing of momentum and heat is investigated in turbulent stratified shear flows. It is assumed that the flow has uniform shear and stratification with homogeneous turbulence and that an equilibrium is reached ... -
Aggregation of Selected Three-Day Periods to Estimate Annual and Seasonal Wet Deposition Totals for Sulfate, Nitrate, and Acidity. Part II: Selection of Events, Deposition Totals, and Source Receptor Relationships
(American Meteorological Society, 1995)A method for deriving estimates of long-term acidic deposition over eastern North America based on a limited number of Regional Acid Deposition Model runs has been developed. The main components of this method are the ... -
Aggregation of Selected Three-Day Periods to Estimate Annual and Seasonal Wet Deposition Totals for Sulfate, Nitrate, and Acidity. Part I: A Synoptic and Chemical Climatology for Eastern North America
(American Meteorological Society, 1995)Running 3-day periods from 1979 to 1985 were categorised into one of 20 meteorological categories. These categories were developed through the cluster analysis of 3-day progressions of 85-kPa wind flow over eastern North ... -
Improved Accuracy of Radar WPMM Estimated Rainfall upon Application of Objective Classification Criteria
(American Meteorological Society, 1995)Application of the window probability matching method to radar and rain gauge data that have been objectivelyclassified into different rain types resulted in distinctly different Ze-R relationships for the various ... -

A Bayesian Approach to Microwave Precipitation Profile Retrieval
(American Meteorological Society, 1995)A multichannel passive microwave precipitation retrieval algorithm is developed. Bayes theorem is used to combine statistical information from numerical cloud models with forward radiative transfer modeling. Amultivariate ... -
Improvements of an Ice-Phase Microphysics Parameterization for Use in Numerical Simulations of Tropical Convection
(American Meteorological Society, 1995)It is important to properly simulate the extent and ice water content of tropical anvil clouds in numerical models that explicitly include cloud formation because of the significant effects that these clouds have on the ... -
Recursive Filter Objective Analysis of Meteorological Fields: Applications to NESDIS Operational Processing
(American Meteorological Society, 1995)A recursive filter objective analysis method is described. It is a "successive approximation" system with the particular feature of locally varying scaling, making it especially appropriate for dealing with inhomogeneous ... -
Cloud Model-Based Simulation of Spaceborne Radar Observations
(American Meteorological Society, 1995)Simulations of observations from potential spaceborne radars are made based on storm structure generated from the three-dimensional (3D) Goddard cumulus ensemble model simulation of an intense overland convective system. ... -

(American Meteorological Society, 1993)Acoustic sounder observations of atmospheric turbulence parameters presented in this paper include estimates of the dissipation rate ?, estimates of turbulent scale lengths ?, and uncertainties in measurements of the ... -
Automated Quality Control Procedure for the "Water Equivalent of Snow on the Ground" Measurement
(American Meteorological Society, 1995)Snow water equivalent (SWE) has been measured daily by the United States National Weather Service since 1952, whenever snow depth is 2 in. (5 cm) or greater. These data are used to develop design snow loads for buildings, ...
